My previous Giro helmet is about 6 years old, and just recently the harness broke (because I didnt pack it well enough). I knew I wanted another Giro, and after some research, I chose this one for the amazing fit, great looks, and the fact that it is SUPER light!
There are a ton of air vents, and I am never over heated, even when I wear a hat underneath. I cant say enough about the comfort of the fit, Giro does an amazing job.
Very light, very airy and great fit!
I am happy with purchase and it is lightweight and comfortable. It is well ventilated but it is still hot on days over 80 degrees.
Very good adjustability and it is a good looking helmet.
Very lightweight helmet that fits perfectly on my big head. The very fine size adjustments really help. The ventilation is awesome with the large openings in the helmet. I use a headband in the hot summer months and the combination of wicking by the headband and evaporation from the helmet work well together. And the ability to fine tune the size in tiny increments allows for a great fit with or without the headband. This helmet is worth the extra cost. The only downside is that the helmet is so light you'll find yourself reaching up to make sure you remembered to put it on.
Was wearing Giro Atmos and decided to try the Aeon. Have only worn a few times, but in very hot weather. The helmet is so well ventilated, I can feel the breeze circulating around my noggin. Love, love, love Found on 4th of July sale at great price and worth every penny
light and comfy
When I decided to be in the market for a new helmet, I started investigating the design of newer road helmets. I was impressed by the detail that went into this and was further impressed by the fit and comfort right out of the box.
I tried on a number of different helmets in this class, but none of them fit as well or felt as well made.
Love this helmet. Great venting, lightweight and easily adjustable to fit. I have a small head, and the Roc Loc system gives me a perfect fit, quickly and easily, even alternating between, hat, beanie or nothing under the helmet at all.
This is for road bike use. I purchased it for the review on ventilation since my head stays very hot. The helmet shell seems large, even in a size small and the clasp is small and difficult to handle. My head is cooler in this helmet, the true test will be when the weather heats up.
True to size, excellent fit. This uber light helmet works as advertised, light, well ventilated and comfortable.
I have now owned three different Giro helmets over the years, and the Aeon is the best one so far.
It's extremely light weight, plenty of ventilation, and the fit is very precise, and can be adjusted to your head.
The straps feel good as well. No worries if you decide to buy this one, you can't go wrong !
I've been riding Giro on my head for over 20 years! This is by far the lightest and most comfortable helmet I've ever used. My Atmos was about 4 years old and the harness inside was cracking. I wanted another light helmet and this is by far the best!
There lots of light, well ventilated helmets, but this one fits me especially well. Even pressure all around and it stays put, doesn't slide forward.
This is my 3rd Giro helmet, but this first in nearly 3 years. Why did I wait so long? I am amazed at the improved air flow, fit and weight. This lid feels secure, sleek and super light.
I agree that it is very light and ventilates well, the blue, black and white colors work for me. The straps, well I don't really notice them so that's good and the retention device is easy to use. I got the helmet on sale, but was already considering buying it full price. For me the combo of looks, comfort and functionality makes it worth every penny.
Great airflow, which is nice in warm weather.
Easy to fit to my head, even over winter caps.
Lighter than my old helmet, which is nice for my neck on long rides.
Just what I was looking for to replace my old lid, which had taken a bump or two over the past couple of years.
Great helmet, feels great with lots of ventilation and comfortable.
Got my buddies to buy also.
Than you for the great price.
This is a great helmet with easy adjustment. It was on sale and I used some of my VIP points, so it was only about [$], not a bad deal at all.
Light, comfortable and a great price. Air flow is great. Best helmet I have owned, and that is compared to the Bell Sweep, Garneau lite, and the Atmos.
This helmet is awesome! I love Giro, but this is hands-down the best cycling helmet I have ever owned. It's stylish...It's light...It feels like you are not wearing a helmet at all. I've been on long hot rides and get amazing air circulation to keep me cool. More importantly, I have avoided the sore neck syndrome from opposing the gravity & airflow drag of a heavier helmet! I'd recommend this helmet to anyone...but especially those needing comfort without sacrificing safety on the long roads ahead.
Hi,
Thanks for the review, and I'm glad you're happy with your new helmet! It's a good idea to replace your helmet every few years, but I also wanted to let you know that it's possible to replace just the Roc Loc retention system on Giro helmets. If you have a problem with the harness again before your helmet's reached the end of its lifespan, just search for "roc loc" on our website.
Thanks, Stacia
